It would have cost me $200 to fix at the dealer, perhaps more. I ordered the part online and did it myself. 3 screws, 1 electrical connector, and 1 Youtube video later, my fan was quiet again!
From what I read, the fan was found to be defective in its design. The bearings would start to fail and then, boom, noisy fan. I was only a few thousand miles outside the factory warranty, so I was out of luck on that count. It turned out to be super simple to fix on my own.
